The 1st Hanau Football Club , founded on March 23, 1893, is the oldest football club in Hesse . On January 28, 1900, the club was one of the founding members of the German Football Association (DFB) and was one of the best football teams in southern Germany for the first two decades of its existence.

history

The club was founded as FC Hanau in 1893 by Ernst Schönfeld from Berlin. From 1896 at the latest, this 1st Hanau football club was called 1893.

At Whitsun 1894, Hanau 93, as a foreign member club of the German Football and Cricket Association, was entitled to play a playoff for its football championship against league champions BFC Viktoria 1889 . According to the association, the final was to take place in Berlin, at the headquarters of the DF & CB, but Hanau 93 wanted to play at their own location and did not travel - probably for financial reasons. Viktoria 89 retained the title. In the summer of 2007 there was a symbolic re-staging, delayed by 113 years, with a return leg of the final. The first leg ended 3-0 for Viktoria, the second leg 1-1.

After the founding of the South German Football Association in 1897, Hanau 93 was in the finals of the South Championship in 1902 , 1903 , 1905 and 1906 , but was subject to the Karlsruher FV and in 1906 to the 1. FC Pforzheim . A curiosity was the final in 1905, in which Hanau could not take part because only two Hanau players had come to the final. In 1907 , 1908 and 1909 they finished third, in 1916 fourth in the southern German finals.

After that, they didn't play for the title for almost 20 years. Only when the Gauligen were founded in 1933 and the Hessen champions took part in the German championship , Hanau 93 was able to celebrate good results again. In 1935, 1936 and most recently in 1938 FC 93 became champions of the Gauliga Hessen and took part in the German championship finals, but never survived the group stage. In 1939 and 1940 they finished second in the Gauliga.

After the Second World War , the Oberliga Süd was introduced as the new top division, the Hessenliga was only second, from 1950 even only third class. 1953 succeeded the FC 93 promotion to the 2nd League South . In 1956 and 1962 you just missed promotion to the Oberliga Süd as fourth. With the league reform brought about by the introduction of the Bundesliga, they finally rose from the second division in 1963, and in the following year they even failed to stay in the Hessenliga. 1966 to 1968 and 1973 to 1975 Hanau 93 played again in the Oberliga Hessen . After the resurgence in 1976, the Hanauer surprisingly rose to the 2nd Bundesliga South in 1978 , but they only stayed there for one season in 1978/79 . In 1982 they were also relegated from the Hessen League. Most recently, Hanau managed to return to the amateur league in 1985, but had to leave it again the next year. FC 93 has not played in a third division since then. Since 1963 Hanau's only successes have been fourth place in 1977 and 1985, third place in 1981 and promotion to the second division in 1978.

Hanau won the Hessen Cup in 1950 and 1978 . Also at the German Cup FC took part 93; In 1935 they even reached the quarter-finals, in the other six participations they reached at most the second round. The last participation in a main round of the DFB Cup was in 1980 .

In the 1990s, FC Hanau 93 slipped into the district league A and later shuttled between the district league and group league for a few years. The sporting director Fallacara set the goal of being promoted to the Hessenliga by the 2018/19 season. The team around the Bundesliga experienced Daniyel Cimen and Ervin Skela took the first step by winning the district league championship 2014/15 and the associated promotion to the group league. Two years later, after more than thirty years, she was promoted to the current sixth class association league (formerly regional league). For the 2017/18 season, the former Bundesliga player Michael Fink moved to FC Hanau 93. In 2019, the club managed to return to the Hessenliga after 33 years. Although they had only finished second in the Association League South and took last place in the subsequent relegation of the three association league champions, the voluntary waiver of the FSC Lohfelden freed up another place in the Hessen League, which allowed the Hanauers to rise.

player

In 1935 and 1936 FC 93 had a national player in its ranks. In these two years Heinrich Sonnrein played once for Germany. So Sonnrein is next to Rudi Völler , who learned to play football at TSV 1860 Hanau , Hanau's most famous player.

Venue

At first the parade ground was used as a playing field, then until 1927 the club was at home at the "Schöne Aussicht". From 1927 to 1945, FC Hanau 93 played in the stadium on Aschaffenburger Strasse, which held up to 25,000 spectators. After the Second World War, the black and whites temporarily used the grounds of the Dunlop Hanau factory team until the Herbert Dröse Stadium , which seats 16,000 people, was completed in 1951 . Since 1997, the black and whites have returned to the youth sports field.
